President Chiids. of the Official Visitors
Board, Makes a Report.
WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-The report of
the board of official visitors to the West
Point Military academy was received by
President Cleveland from Mr.. George
w. Childs. president of the board. It is
the most elaborate and comprehensive
report ever presented, and embraces q
great deal of information of general in
terest. Among the important recon-
mendations Of the board is one proposing
to raise the standard of qualifications
for admissions, in order that the time
nov devoted to elementary instructions
during the first year may be utilized in
teaching ethics and English literature.
The board also recommends that the
study of German be taken up at the
academy, and that more time be devoted
to the Spanish language. Attention is
called to the failure of congressman to
recommend candidates for appointment
as cadets. In this connection it is stated
that members of the house of representa-
tives have the legal right to recommend
candidates for appointment. Heretofore
2ermissions to make these Recommended
lions have been been extended as a mat
ter of courtesy, but the right to appoint
is lodged with the president,
and he is not legally bound
to recognize recommendations
made by any particular person. The
board recommended that hereafter all
recommendations for appointment as
cadets be made one year in advance, as
required by law, and that in cases where
congressman fail to comply with the law

pared and are now in the basement under
the insane ward of the county jail. Pur-
chasing Agent Benham was in the base
ment Friday to look at the walls, as he
had been told they were defe ctiye and
needed repairing. He roamed around the
roomy basement until he came to a big
room used as a Sepair and carpenter shop.
He tried the door; it was
locked. The bailiff was with
him, but had no key and was not able to
find any. Mr.. Benham grew impatient
and ended by kicking in the door. He
found a carpenter there at work on the
gallows. The two old ones had been
overhanled. One of them was found big
enough for three, and the other one had
been enlarged to fit four.
